Brief summary

This is an open-label, randomized, Phase 3 study in patients with locally advanced unresectable or metastatic GIST (advanced GIST) of avapritinib (also known as BLU-285) versus regorafenib in patients previously treated with imatinib and 1 or 2 other TKIs.

Interventions

DRUGavapritinib

Avapritinib tablets for oral administration. Avapritinib will be dosed at 300 mg once daily, continuously.

DRUGregorafenib
